Hi

[ilovetrees]

I've just joined the forum so just saying hello to everyone and introducing myself.

I'm male and 53 (today) from South Yorkshire.

I had my first lot of major depression about nine years ago when things got really out of hand.

I've been on various meds over the years and have just stopped taking Citalopram. I was on 30 until a couple of weeks ago. I moved to 40, didn't like the extra side effects so dropped to 20 on Saturday and then nothing since.

I've got issues with depression, anxiety, stress and social situations.

I'm married but get zero support, understanding or encouragement from my wife. I can't discuss things with anyone else.

Although I know I should feel generally pleased with things, I feel pretty crap these days with no obviously easy way out of my issues.
